Housing for Wellbeing Continues Home Deliveries in Quintana Roo

Housing for Wellbeing is expanding deliveries in Quintana Roo, where INFONAVIT handed over new homes in Cancun’s Paraíso Maya as the state scales a broader pipeline for 2025–2026. The rollout forms part of President Claudia Sheinbaum’s national goal to reach 1.8 million homes, combining construction starts with measures to widen access to affordable housing.

Mexico’s federal government is accelerating the Housing for Wellbeing program, using early deliveries in multiple states to signal scale as it advances toward a 1.8 million home sexennial target. Over the past weeks, federal housing institutions and state governments have highlighted new handovers, construction pipelines and revised state targets in Quintana Roo and Sonora.

The most recent came through a simultaneous delivery event that included 80 INFONAVIT homes in Cancun, Quintana Roo and 48 CONAVI homes in Cajeme, Sonora, bringing the combined handover to 128 homes under the program.

Mara Lezama, Governor of Quintana Roo, framed Housing for Wellbeing as a poverty-reduction tool, arguing that secure housing is also a public security and social cohesion policy. Speaking from the Paraiso Maya development in Cancun alongside Octavio Romero, Director General, INFONAVIT, Lezama said the program projects more than 62,000 homes in the state, with an estimated MX$37 billion (US$2.13 billion) investment.

Lezama said that 31,000 homes are already “under construction or in execution” for 2025 and 2026, positioning the state’s pipeline as one of the earlier large-scale ramps under the national program. She added that at Paraiso Maya, 512 beneficiaries have already acquired a home, and that the event included a symbolic handover of keys to 80 families as part of the consolidation of homeownership.

Additional federal reporting tied to the same delivery cycle indicates Paraiso Maya is a much larger complex as officials said the development includes 5,000 homes, with 512 already assigned, and that works have begun for more than 30,000 homes in Chetumal, Playa del Carmen and Cancun.

The program’s planning figures for the state have also been presented with broader targets in some federal briefings. According to information shared during the same rollout, Quintana Roo’s overall target increased from 18,000 to 75,000 homes, alongside 20,000 property deeds to be delivered through land and tenure regularization mechanisms.

Sonora, Nuevo Leon and Yucatan Deliveries

In Sonora, the first delivery under the current cycle centered on Cajeme’s Joara development, where 48 homes were handed over. Officials have emphasized that Joara is a social-housing complex designed with differentiated unit types and a youth component. It comprises 302 homes, including 228 units of 63 square meters with three bedrooms, and 74 two-bedroom units aimed at younger beneficiaries.

Statewide, Sonora’s six-year target was presented as expanding substantially, rising from 33,000 to 65,000 homes, with federal authorities also pointing to a pipeline already in motion. Reporting from the same event indicated that 16,432 homes are in the construction process, and that the INSUS land-tenure agency is expected to deliver 30,000 deeds in the state as part of the broader package that couples construction with legal certainty.

Housing for Wellbeing’s northern expansion has been highlighted in Nuevo Leon, where President Claudia Sheinbaum led a delivery in the municipality of Juarez, handing over 53 homes in the Villas de Palmanova development. The project is part of a larger build-out: officials said 1,576 homes are being built at the site through INFONAVIT, MBN reports.

During the Juarez event, federal authorities reiterated that the sexennial goal is to expand access for households historically priced out of the formal market, including workers earning one to two minimum wages, and that complementary measures include the restructuring of legacy “unpayable” credit portfolios.

Officials also outlined Nuevo Leon’s state target under the program at more than 80,000 homes, broken down as 67,000 INFONAVIT homes, 10,000 CONAVI homes, and 4,000 FOVISSSTE homes, plus 3,000 property deeds to be delivered through INSUS.

In Yucatan, the program’s launch phase was marked by the delivery of the first 64 homes in Merida, where local authorities described the initiative as aimed at workers who may have credit eligibility but cannot find a market-priced home that fits the loan amount.

State targets for Yucatán have also been revised upward. According to MBN, the state moved from an initial goal of 19,500 to a new target of 70,000 new homes, including 60,000 through INFONAVIT and 10,000 through CONAVI. The same reporting notes an advance of 37,307 homes subscribed and approved under contract, described as 53.3% of the sexennial goal, representing an investment of more than MX$42 billion.

400,000 Homes Planned for 2026

These state rollouts are part of a larger national ramp. MBN has reported that federal authorities expect more than 400,000 homes to be built in 2026 under Housing for Wellbeing, following 393,686 homes formalized for construction in 2025. The program is tied to a broader package that includes new construction, land-tenure regularization, home-improvement support, and credit restructuring, positioned as the operational pathway to the 1.8 million-home target.

As the program expands, the government is increasingly linking delivery events to the larger pipeline, using early handovers in priority states to underscore execution capacity, while simultaneously revising state targets upward and pairing construction with deeds and credit restructuring to widen effective access to homeownership.
